Collapse Iron: I'm a Succubus in the Universe

That's right, light gray shoulder-length short hair, a delicate and beautiful face, and the shoulder straps and neck slightly exposed despite being wrapped in a coat.

Isn't that Xing? But what Qiong is most confused about now is, shouldn't the other person be on the train right now? What's going on with them appearing here?

But Xing remained completely calm, and then spoke as if she were recounting something perfectly normal.

"Because I've finished that game, and I've been bored, I've come here to take a look."

"So how did you get here?"

"It's very simple, just teleport."

Xing didn't hide anything; it seemed from her that teleportation was also possible, and she could come to his side at any time.

With this, Qiong felt much more at ease, since if all else failed, she could still use time-stop.

"Right, right, this is a rare opportunity, how about we take advantage of it for a thrilling adventure?"

Xing pointed to the door as she spoke. Qiong was a little puzzled by her intentions, but she still chose to follow.

When the two opened the door and went out, March 7th across the hall seemed to have heard the noise and also opened the door. She was also awake.

"Hey, what are you doing out here at this hour?"

March 7th asked the first question, and Qiong didn't know how to answer, so she simply invited the other party to go on an adventure together. Upon hearing this, the former immediately showed excitement.

"An adventure? Sure, sure!"

So the two followed Xingdi's footsteps, and under her guidance, Qiong tentatively knocked on a tightly closed door.

"Hey, isn't it a bit much for us to bother people like this? What if they... sigh...?"

Before March 7th could finish speaking, they heard a faint rustling sound coming from behind the solid door. Out of curiosity, the two pressed their ears to the door.

But the room was filled with the crisp sound of hammers striking rollers. The sound was initially clear, pleasant, and rhythmic.

After a while, the sound became increasingly noisy and muddy, and the typewriter user had clearly encountered a creative block.

Then, the unsettling clicking sound abruptly stopped, and the room was filled with some kind of somber murmur.

[Working without playing will make even smart children dull...]

"Alright... wait! Are you going to go knock on other room doors?!"

March 7th was about to try to persuade them, but Qiong's hand had already struck down. In reality, it wasn't Qiong who made the move, but Xing.

Honestly, after knocking on the first door, he was planning to stop, but then Xing suddenly told him something.

[Let's take turns knocking on the door. Whoever comes out first loses, and the loser has to obey the winner tonight.]

Since things had come to this point, how could Qiong not follow? Seeing this, San Yueqi hesitated for a moment but still followed.

There seemed to be another woman in the room this time, arguing with another man about something.

The sound quickly disappeared, and Xing and Qiong followed them to the next door, while March 7th had no idea what he was doing.

I feel that this kind of behavior of secretly eavesdropping on other people's conversations is wrong, but there is also a strange sense of excitement about it.

No, no, I'm not that kind of person! I just need to keep an eye on this guy and prevent him from doing anything out of line, that's all!

March 7th convinced herself of this, and when Qiong knocked on the next door, she obediently followed.

This time, muffled sounds kept coming from inside the room. The sound was strange, like some kind of hard, gelatinous object, or perhaps some kind of ball, hitting the hollow brick wall with a 'bang'.

Then, the object landed with a thud on the wooden board and rolled into the depths of the room.

It sounded like someone picked up the sphere and threw it again, repeating that sound over and over...

The next rooms were also extraordinary; one was filled with the sobbing of a woman, who seemed to be pleading with someone.

Although the words were inaudible, one could clearly sense the other person's unease and fear.

Hearing this, March 7th, who was standing nearby, was anxious to break down the door, but at that moment, a rough, hoarse, and piercing strange voice suddenly rang out.

[Danny isn't here, Mrs. Torrance.]

The woman seemed startled, for her incessant crying suddenly ceased.

"What... what's going on?"

March 7th felt a chill run down her spine and unconsciously moved closer to Qiong. She had felt something was off since earlier.

After all, first they heard someone throwing a ball in the room in the middle of the night, and now they heard a woman crying in the room.

Qiong was also unsure, and looked at Xing beside her. The latter did not seem to want to reveal anything, clearly giving off an impression of "If you want to find out the truth, keep knocking~".

"Wait, wait a minute, are you going to keep knocking? I think that's enough, it's about time, let's go back to our room and rest!"

March 7th tugged at Qiong's sleeve. It was a good suggestion, but...

"If we go back like this, will you be able to sleep?"

"Huh?"

March 7th paused, her expression hesitant. If she went back to sleep without finding out the truth, given her personality, she probably wouldn't be able to sleep all night.

Chapter Twenty-Nine, March 7th: Go wash your hands! Don't ask why!

Driven by curiosity, she eventually went with Qiong to the next door. As they knocked on the door of the back room, they heard a man and a woman arguing loudly inside.

The woman's voice was slightly softer, but the man's was somewhat hysterical, as if he had dreamt of something terrifying.

Ultimately, their argument was completely drowned out by the baby's piercing cries.

Just then, the two suddenly felt a chilling sensation in the back of their necks, as if someone had pressed a sharp knife against their skin.

Qiong was certain she sensed something... at the end of the hotel corridor...

Two girls who looked exactly alike were staring at them.

"Little kids, what are you doing here? It's the middle of the night...it's kind of scary, hahaha..."

March 7th's tone was stiff; she had already sensed something was wrong and instinctively hid behind Qiong. Just then, the twin sisters also spoke.

Let's play together... forever... forever... forever...

"Aaaaaaah!!!"

"March, don't hug me so tightly, I can't breathe!"

Qiong felt like she was suffocating, but at that moment, March 7th didn't care about anything else; she was too scared to take care of herself.

She hugged Qiong's neck tightly, and then without saying a word, she pulled him and ran backward. Putting everything else aside, this girl was really strong.

After that, Qiong lost consciousness. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself back in her room.

What exactly happened last night? What's the situation now?

Qiong couldn't understand these things for a moment, but she noticed March 7 lying next to her and Xing sleeping on the other side.

"Ah, you're awake. You and March both passed out last night. It took me a lot of effort to carry you back."

As Xing spoke, she yawned, seemingly preparing to sleep a little longer. Upon hearing this, Qiong looked at March 7th beside her again, who seemed to be still shaken by the fright she experienced the previous night.

She was still cowering in fear, clinging tightly to his arm, enjoying the soft, enveloping feeling and the intimate touch. If she moved her hand even slightly…

Hmm, I can feel something wet and very soft, like my fingers are being pinched by something?

Just as Qiong was trying to figure out what was going on, March 7th beside her suddenly murmured a few times.

"Ugh, no, don't...it itches~"

Seeing this, Qiong hesitated to move, because he seemed to already know what it was.

'How about we pretend to be asleep and wait for the other person to wake up, just like last time?'

"Time is running out, I suggest you hurry up."

"What do you mean you don't have time?"

Qiong was still wondering what Xing was saying when she suddenly heard a noisy sound coming from outside the window.

"March! Wake up! Something seems wrong!"

Sensing that something was wrong, Qiong immediately disregarded everything else and shook March Seven's shoulder with her other hand.

"Huh? W-what happened? Wait, what are you doing in my room?!"

March 7th, who had just opened her eyes, was startled. Then, as if sensing something, her face turned red, and she subconsciously pressed her legs together.

But then she realized something and hurriedly let go of Qiong's arm, covering her skirt and moving back a little.

Her originally snow-white cheeks were now flushed with embarrassment. Seeing this, Qiong moved her slightly sore hands and noticed something stuck to them.

It felt icy cold, like snowflakes. Just as he was about to bring it close to his nose, a delicate hand gripped his wrist again.

"Go wash your hands!"

"Ugh?"

"Don't ask why, just get going!"

Shortly after, the trio, including Dan Heng, appeared in the hotel corridor. Seeing the two emerging from the same room, Dan Heng said nothing.

what.

They assumed the two had a pillow fight last night, but that's not what they should be concerned about now.

A group of Silvermane Iron Guards arrived at the inn's entrance, and they seemed to have ill intentions. After discussing it for a while, the three decided to go and check it out first.

"You! Commander Bronya is waiting for you down there. Go see her now, and don't try anything funny!"

As soon as they stepped out of the hotel, a Silver Mane Iron Guard shouted at them in a stern voice, his attitude clearly inappropriate.

"Are we... in deep trouble?"

March 7th spoke with some concern. Accompanied by Iron Guard, the three were brought before Bronya, and beside her was the 'Sister Pera' they had met yesterday.

But at this moment, they were arresting the three on charges of treason.

"What does this mean, Bronya?"

Bronya did not answer Sora's question; instead, she looked at him with an extremely complex and strange expression.

They looked as if they had been deceived. Qiong was even more puzzled by this scene, and San Yueqi and Dan Heng beside her had the same feeling.

"Hey, what did you do to her?"

March 7th couldn't help but ask in a low voice, to which Qiong could only shake her head.

He didn't know either. They had a perfectly fine chat before they parted yesterday. There must be someone up to something!

However, things have come to this point, and simply becoming a prisoner is definitely not an option, so there is only one way...

"Observe the corner and infer three times—the emperor's command is absolute—rely on the city to borrow one!"

As the slogan rang out, Qiong conjured a baseball bat out of thin air and swept it across several Iron Guards around him with two loud 'bangs'. Dan Heng did the same.

The three fled towards the street that had been blocked off earlier, their goal being the central rift.

"...He actually charged into the rift himself. I don't know if it was overconfidence or suicide. It seems Mother's judgment was correct..."

Bronya frowned, and as she spoke, her chest heaved faster, as if she were feeling unsettled.

Should we report that they are missing or dead?

Pera sought Bronya's opinion, who hesitated for a moment before ultimately deciding to follow.

"The only thing I can do now is to eliminate the villains who threaten Belloberg."

The girl gritted her teeth; the emotions she had suppressed yesterday were now erupting even more intensely.

She had been deceived, and although recalling the scene, the other party did not seem to be lying, but... it was the Great Guardian's decision.

Meanwhile, on the other side, March 7th, who had just escaped, was laughing and joking, but now was not the time to let his guard down.

The three continued moving along the road, and March 7th still had some questions.

"What exactly happened? Why did that Great Guardian suddenly send people to capture us? Qiong, do you know anything about this?"

Feeling the gazes of the two people beside her, Qiong also felt somewhat helpless. At that time, almost everyone present had noticed Bronya's abnormality.

"I told you, I don't know either."

Qiong was still somewhat helpless. He had meant well in comforting the other party, but now San Yueqi and Dan Heng had misunderstood him instead.

Chapter 30 Qiong: Do I look like the kind of person who would deceive a girl's feelings?

Could he be the kind of guy who deceives people's feelings? Never mind, that's not the most important thing right now.
